Basics of Dhaka

It's intersting how 3 weeks can feel like so long in some ways and feel like the snap of the fingers in others.  One of my friends came in town for 2.5 weeks which caused the hiatus in blog entries. 
Here's a brief Henry update: he still LOVES swimming and anything to do with water whethers it's Guinness's water bowl, the bath, swimming, or a teeny tiny puddle that only one of his fingers can splash around in, he looks for birds whenever he can, he is learning more and more words and now says "up" to be picked up, car (cahh), airplane which comes out as ahppah and sounds a lot like his rendition of apple, cracker which sounds like cra kha, and a few others, and he's quite the polite sweetie now that he blows kisses when someone says good bye.  We're working on teaching him sign language so that he can communicate "more" and "done" and a few other key points but I don't think he has quite grasped the concept. 
On to the photos from Dhaka over the past few weeks

 One of Henry's favorite new hats. I don't think Scott's parents realized how useful and versatile the box of magnets they gave him for his birthday would be!

Here are some photos of Henry with my friend - and no, none of these photos were staged. Henry just immediately bonded with him.

One last one from Dhaka.  Joe brought an inflatable raft for Henry to use in the pool.  I blew in up in preparation for heading to the Club but soon learned that it was going to better serve as a vehicle of sorts in the house. We tried using it in the pool but was no where near as fun for the little man.  If only we had had the bright to hide the raft a little sooner...

 Now on to a post about our trip to East Bangladesh.
